I wasn't allowed to post yesterday, so gonna post it now.
IMO, the reason that the 3 different transactions for gas is so important to prove that she had 3 gas cans, is one, the lie that she returned it.
But more important, is that she actually TWICE filled up those cans, and BOTH TIMES she filled 2 of them together, and 1 seperately.
This PROVES she was purposely trying to keep the 3rd gas can out of the equation.
Also, IMO, the reason she had to use her credit card on the 3rd transaction in SLC was because she was actually out of cash.
Her car held approximately 10 gallons - since she didn't run it out and probably had a 12 gallon tank.
The 2 gas cans held the other close to 10 gallons. She CLEARLY knew she could shut down the pump or just stop the pump mechanism to move it over to fill the other can. She could have filled the 3rd one the same way, but she didn't.
Goes BIG TIME to premeditation!!!!!
But why did she use TWO credit card transactions for the first part? I undertsand about one for the 5gal one she wanted to hide, but why would she use two swipes for the rest? Also if she was so careful about that third gas can, why did she keep the Wal-Mart receipt? Do you think she just didn't notice that she put that in the box with the other receipts?
